Re: [SOLVED] How do you use php-gettext?

[Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are two example coming with "php-gettext" package.

However, it is realy easy since you have to use only:

    print T_gettext("Hello World");
or
    print sprintf(T_ngettext("%i Developer", 
                             "%i Developers", ${COUNT}), $COUNT);

Run the command

    xgettext -k T_gettext -k T_ -L PHP -o script.pot script.php

and then you have the Translation Template.

Copy it to your desired language like

    cp script.pot script.po

and translate the "msgstr".  Not call the command

    msgfmt -o script.mo script.po

and copy the file script.mo to your desired locale directory with e.g.

    cp script.mo /var/www/locale/de/LC_messages/

and then setup your script.php to use

----[ 'script.php' ]----------------------------------------------------
<?php

define(PROJECT_DIR, realpath('/var/www'));
define(LOCALE_DIR, PROJECT_DIR .'/locale');
define(DEFAULT_LOCALE, 'en_US');

require_once('/usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc');

$supported_locales = array('de_DE', 'de', 'en_US', 'en');
$encoding = 'UTF-8';

$locale = (isset($_GET['lang']))? $_GET['lang'] : DEFAULT_LOCALE;

T_setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);

$domain = 'script';

bindtextdomain($domain, LOCALE_DIR);
bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, $encoding);
textdomain($domain);

print T_gettext("The rest of your script");

?>
